257 Underground caverns
From the chatter of the lamp god, Orochimaru already knew that killer whales were highly intelligent creatures, but he couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he witnessed such a social behavior.
Of course, only a little.
In addition to ninjas, the ninja world is also a ninja world of transcendent creatures, even toads that can speak, and white snakes that can domesticate their offspring.
The teamwork of killer whales is not special, it only shows that they have good potential as psychic animals.
But Orochimaru looked at the direction in which the killer whales drove away their prey, and a golden glint flashed in his eyes.
"Is it a coincidence?"
The direction they were heading was toward the ground node.
Based on past experience, it is not surprising that places with abundant natural energy are also the most abundant in resources, and such places are entrenched in a group of creatures at the top of the marine food chain.
But the question is, if the food there is enough to satisfy the life activities of this tribe, as he expected, why should he run here?
It's just a matter of running here to hunt, and you still have to find a way to deliver food to your home?
"Boom ......"
A few baby killer whales bumped his stomach and let out a melodious cry, as if urging something.
"Well, go ahead and have a look."
Orochimaru was a little interested, swayed the snake's tail, and chased after him.
The baby killer whales also seemed to be happy, and as they moved forward, happily circling around Orochimaru.
……
The leyline energy node is only thirty or forty miles away from the previous position.
That's not far away, whether it's for the killer whale, or Orochimaru, or the prey they're targeting.
Even with one acceleration, it is possible to cross the finish line.
But along the way, Orochimaru once again witnessed the teamwork of killer whales.
They surround the sperm whale, by tearing the flesh of the prey to create injuries, to reduce the speed of the target, and strictly control the strength so that it will not be seriously injured and collapse in the middle of the road, it seems that the business is very skilled, I don't know how many times I have done it before.
The sperm whale was tormented by them, and finally lost control of its body at some point, as if it had been thrown a stone to the apex, and fell forward by inertia.
"Boom ......"
There was a melodious chirp from the killer whale group, and they gathered and fit the sperm whale's body from all directions, as if affecting the direction of its fall.
"What is this doing?"
Orochimaru looked puzzled and looked at this scene in surprise.
But there was no effective means of communication between the two sides, so he could only chase after him, and he kept swimming with the fall of his prey.
The water is deep and dark, and the further down you go, the less light you can see.
But this is a different place near the bottom of the leyline, where some unnamed ores are connected together, emitting a faint blue glow.
A school of strange fish appeared in view, and was photographed by the overlord at the top of the food chain, quickly moving away from the killer whale group.
The killer whales didn't pay any attention to them, just stubbornly escorted their prey, and soon, a pit up to 100 meters wide appeared in front of Orochimaru's eyes.
"Boom ......"
The killer whale group seemed to be sure that the sperm whale could fall right into it, and began to bite the flesh of its prey with its sharp teeth.
They ate quickly, filling their stomachs during the fall of the sperm whale, but they were still a drop in the bucket compared to the thirty or forty tons of bodies.
Obviously, the killer whale colony is not all about hunting for itself, but more about filling the giant pit with food.
Orochimaru's gaze turned to the god of lights and asked, "What's down here?" ”
The lamp god tilted his head, his face was a little weird,
"It's fine."
Orochimaru nodded slightly, and the snake's tail swayed, rushing towards the huge pit under the sea like a sharp sword.
In the middle, several killer whales swam by, as if trying to stop his behavior, and were pushed away by him several times.
As the distance got closer, Orochimaru found that the submarine canyon seemed to be more accurate than the term 'giant pit'.
And in the depths of the canyon, a waterspout frantically stirred the sea like a perpetual motion machine, the water turned at high speed, and the waves continued to crash in all directions.
The attraction is so strong that even the weight of a sperm whale is easily caught and dragged deeper into the ground.
Orochimaru stood on the periphery, using ninjutsu to stabilize his body, and looked at the lamp god in surprise, "Still going down?" ”
In the face of the great power of nature, what 'Konoha Sannin' is not a single person at all, and Orochimaru is not confident that he can remain safe and sound after entering.
But the god of the lamp is full of faith,
Seeing that the lamp god had made up his mind to sell Guanzi, Orochimaru didn't bother to say more, and plunged into it.
In the next moment, the waterspout erupted with a strong suction, and he directly lost the control of his body and began to spin wildly.
……
I don't know how long it took, Orochimaru woke up from a semi-fainting and took a deep breath.
The cold air invaded his lungs, causing Orochimaru's nerves to tremble, and his thoughts began to become clearer, and he suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
This is the depths of the submarine canyon, where does the air come from?
In an instant, Orochimaru came to his senses completely, and a pair of golden boys narrowed slightly, and began to look around at their surroundings.
It was a naturally formed cave, the cave was full of fluorescent glows, and there were strange rocks falling downward, and the top of the rock was about 150 meters, which was not narrow for his current size.
"Here...... Hey? ”
Orochimaru moved slightly, but felt his feet slip, and looked down to find that he was actually lying on the sperm whale.
The lamp god poked his head out and said with a smile,
As soon as the sound of the lantern fell, Orochimaru raised his vigilance and immediately entered the immortal mode.
And as his perception spread outward, his face suddenly became unsightly.
The huge chakra reaction, no less than the huge chakra reaction of the tailed beast, is coming from all directions, and there are more than a dozen of them.
Did he come to some monster's lair? Is this what the god of lights said in his mouth, there is no danger at all?
In the midst of nervous vigilance, a huge monster soon revealed its form.
After seeing the other party's figure clearly through the fluorescence on the rock wall, Orochimaru was inexplicably surprised, "Slug Immortal? ”
A gentle female voice sounded, and she also felt surprised, "Hey, are you Orochimaru?" ”
Neither side expected to see each other in this place.
"How did you become like this?"
The slug immortal squirmed, and his two tentacles reached forward, looking up and down at Orochimaru's current figure, "How did you find this place?" ”
"It's a long story."
Orochimaru's mind flowed, and he instantly understood the strange behavior of the killer whale group, and subconsciously licked his lips,
"Slug Immortal, this time, I plan to learn immortal art from you."
"Look, I'm ready for the sacrifices."
